First, may I say Happy Clock Day to you all :)
This is the first time I have actually participated in this annual event. Early on, I quickly noticed that not one submission was blammed, even if it wasn't even related to Clock Day. I also didn't get the whole "B" business, maybe I had to be there. Anyway, It was a good opportunity to get the 'ol Blam/Protection points up (well, protection in particular) Vote 5 and you can't go wrong! Long may Clock Day continue!

Nearing the end of August/Beginning of September, I'm going to release my near-finished suite, "The Scottish Seasons" that I made from scratch using Sibelius 6. The suite is my rework of Vivaldi's Four Seasons but with the twist that I have made them with a Scottish accent, so to speak. It features piano, acoustic guitar and strings and other instruments are there for effect. I will try and set up a place from which downloads will become available though I doubt I'll get many requests :P.
Programme Notes are available also on demand. To do so, PM me your E-mail and I'll send it as an attachment.
Hope you enjoy it!

[Btw this has nothing to do with NG, duh]
Holidays are the best thing the government could do to keep the general population happy. I for one could not go more than two months without one. Lo and behold, the council gives us at least a 2-week holiday every couple of months and now, seven weeks worth of summer holiday. Fantastic.
As for the work side of things, school at the moment is hardly the most taxing activity on the planet. Even though I'm in sixth and last year at school, the work rate is so slow I doubt any OAP with Alzheimer's would have trouble following the curriculum and passing the final exams.
Anyway enough gloating for today, I think. Happy summer holidays to everyone on them and a massive Nelson-style "HAHA!" to those not yet on them.
Later!

Seeing as I'm just one big 'ol moaner, I thought I would devote at least half of this page to finding out what gets on the nerves of the regular NG user, whether it be the crappy cartoon jokes or NG in general. If we tell Mr Fulp exactly what we do and don't want, we might get new powers to really blam bad submissions to hell.
I call this Newgrounds Anger Guidance, or NAG for short.
Tell me what your pet hates are, and we can change NG for the better, for ever!

*Sigh* Today seems to be just a string of complaints from me. However there is one more pet-hate to add to the list. These repetitive video-game "parodies". Not the ones that take the characters out of the game and put them into a humerous situation. No, the f**ktards who insist on making a flash remake of the actual game. It's getting boring! We know what the game looks like thank you! Please stop!

I have a few passing comments to make to people who insist on submitting flashes they have put little or no effort into.
First, what is the point?! If you know it's going to get blammed why put it up in the first place? Fair enough if it's a test case and you want to see how it turned out, but there's no excuse.
Second, respect for you and your work will decrease dramatically and it's a real shame if you get discredited for work people believed was a masterpiece.
Some of you will think I'm slightly OTT about this situation, but it's really getting on my nerves. I have absolutely no problem with amateurs experimenting and have clearly put effort into their work. People should also rate work based on the quality tied in with the experience of the artist, not acting as if all submittors are professionals.
If anyone agrees, leave a comment in the space below.

Hi Guys,
First note from your regular pessimist. I am very critical so please don't take any critisism onto a personal level. Otherwise, I have been known to like certain submissions and when those times come, I can give glowing reviews.
Newgrounds was not created for assholes. Please don't be one on my page.
Thanks.
